Passengers are advised to check before they travel over next week’s Bank Holiday weekend, due to scheduled rail maintenance works being carried out across the UK.
Network Rail will start track and signalling replacement work on May 1, and is due to finish it on May 5. This may mean longer journey times and replacement bus services for some passengers.
Areas affected include Carlisle, Crewe, Wolverhampton and Stafford in the West Midlands, and Tring and Hemel Hempstead in the Home Counties. For details, go to www.nationalrail.co.uk/may.
